Mine was busy!  We...

Bought a new car
Said goodbye to my husband's grandma (she passed away on Thanksgiving morning)
Hosted Thanksgiving dinner
Painted/re-did my sons' room
Shopped
4 Hockey games in Niles
2 Basketball games in Chicago Ridge

I'm exhausted and ready to be back to normal again!  

How about you??

Thanksgiving Message...

Hello!  I'm obviously not in today.  The famous "Grammy Opal" is likely to pass away today at some point.  She is a WWII veteran and is very active with the Monee American Legion post.  Today, they will honor her with an honor guard ceremony in her room a the the hospice facility she is in. I'll be with my family today.

Here is a picture of Opal.  Isn't she just the cutest?  She's 94!  

Anyhow, PLEASE be good for the sub today. I know it's the last day before a 5 day break.  Try to contain yourselves :)

Multimedia 1 - Finish up the Black Friday assignment and turn it in.  Once you have that complete, find something QUIETLY to do.  Play some Thanksgiving Trivia! or...watch the Thanksgiving Episode

Multimedia 2  - Your Personal Narrative Movie Review is due TODAY.  This is worth a whole lot of SUMMATIVE points.  Make sure you finish and turn it in.  Unfortunately, my cabinet is locked today, so you will need to find some earbuds if you need them.

Yearbook - We will celebrate our November birthdays on Tuesday when we return.  Coordinate what you want to do and create a list of who is bringing what.  I will bring the tortilla chips and cheese.  If you want more than that, then you can all decide on it.  You can erase everything on the board.  If you make your list there, just make sure you write save next to it so the custodians don't erase it.    Also, we will work on the December calendar next week.  I need a group to volunteer for December and create the template.  Lastly, can someone take down my Cubs bulletin board outside my room? Skyler...let's use that area to advertise our Instagram challenge.  We will work on that next week.  You can always play some Thanksgiving Trivia, as well as watch the Thanksgiving Episode

Production - There is a message for you in Google Classroom.  Please read it.  Here is a link to your 

Business Management - Once you finish your blog and CNN SN, work on finishing up the Black Friday assignment.  Once you finish, find something quiet to do.  Play some Thanksgiving Trivia! or watch the Thanksgiving Episode.

Have a WONDERFUL holiday!  I'll see you all when we return on Monday!

Oh yeah...I forgot today's BLOG question.  Are you going shopping on Black Friday??  Where are you headed?  What are you shopping for?  

As I said, I am not a fan of stores being open on Thanksgiving, but I will probably head over to Target at some point Thursday night and pick up a few things.  We are in a hockey tournament all weekend in Niles.  Target is only 5 minutes from my house. so I'll just get that out of the way Thursday night. I'm not standing in lines and fighting over the last TV or any of that nonsense. I'm looking for some new boots during the BF sales.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Love,

Mrs. Cal

Thanksgiving Plans? Traditions?

What's on your agenda for the holiday?  Where are you going?  Do you have any traditions?

We usually spend Thanksgiving with our friends, the Freemans.  This year, my in-laws are in town.  I'm hosting Thanksgiving Dinner and then we will head over to my husband's aunt's house for dessert.  We usually play LCR for quarters.  

How about you???

Feel Good Friday!

People...we did it.  We made it to Friday!  Not sure how the rest of you are feeling, but it's been a LONG week and I'm sooo ready for the weekend.  Today I'm feeling good about...

My evaluation is over!

Wearing jeans today

Getting a new car tonight?  

Only TWO days next week!

Some decent music on my way in this morning

Not a whole lot of plans for the weekend

Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK! 

This time next week there should be Christmas lights on my house!

How about you??? What are you feeling good about today?

Thankful Thursday!

No, we usually don't blog on Thursdays, but we won't be here half of next week.....

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, what are you thankful for?  

I'm thankful the obvious family, friends, etc.  I'm also thankful for my job.  I LOVE what I do and I really think I'm so lucky to have a job that I love.  

I'm thankful for being lucky.  Lucky that I get to live somewhere that isn't war-torn.  I don't fear for my safety on a daily basis, etc.  

I'm also thankful for Star Wars (Chewbacca), Manatees, the Cubs, Diet Dr. Pepper, Sunshine, comfy shoes, and TJ Maxx.  Those are a few of my faves...so I had to include them.

How about you???

 

Wordy Wednesday!

Here's your puzzle for today!  How many words can you find?  275 word options available!

Tasty Tuesday! Thanksgiving Edition

Thanksgiving is about family, friends, football, and.....food!  The big day!  I always enjoy reading the answers to this question each year.  It's interesting to read about their traditions. Do you have turkey?  Ham?  Lasagna? It never occurred to me until recently that some people don't even eat turkey on Thanksgiving.  Whaaaa????  

So....what's on your table every year?  What are you looking forward to most?  

The Cal's are traditionalists.  There will be turkey.  

What am I looking forward to?  GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE.  This makes the people in my house GAG.  Green Bean Casserole is my jam, though.  I make sure all those crunchy fried onion things get stirred IN the casserole and then I load them up on top, too! So good! 

How about you?  Apparently my Bitmoji self has a bowl of nachos and corn on the cob on TG.  Interesting.

  

Monday, Monday!

Hey, Hey!  How was your long weekend?  

Lots going on in the Calomino world!  Some good, some not so good.   Hockey wins, fun get-together with friends, ninja warrior birthday party, cookbook club fun....and then the not so good stuff.  Family health issues, injuries, cars that need to be replaced.  Stuff that I suppose you would consider adult-ing.  

But...it could always be so much worse, right?  I've got my positive pants on!

How about you?  How was your weekend?  

Wordy Wednesday

Here's your Boggle board for today!  How many words can you find?  There are 148 word combos in this board.

Election Day!

Today is Election Day!  After today, we can safely watch TV again!  After today,  my social media won't be blown up with political posts!  These are the little things I'm excited about.  It's also cool to be in a line that goes out the door at 6:15 in the morning with others who are exercising their right to VOTE.  

Many of you aren't 18 yet, but I sincerely hope and pray that you will exercise your rights when you are old enough.  It's OK to have different views.  It's OK to support who YOU feel will best fill the job.  JUST VOTE!

Are you old enough to vote?  Are you voting today?  

Monday....What's on your mind? How was your weekend?

4 days this week!  Yay!  

My weekend was good.  Still celebrated my son's 10th birthday, hockey, basketball, family movie night (watched Ghostbusters), visited grandma in the hospital.  

How about you?  What did you do?  Did you go to the dance?  Was it fun?

Feel Good Friday!!!

What an exhausting week.  Halloween, hosting pasta for 600, my son's birthday, the CUBS....I'm SO ready for today to be FRIDAY!  There isn't much on my planner for the weekend and that is something I'm feeling good about.  So...here is my list of what I'm feeling good about today.....

The XC girls are headed to state!  
I'll be broadcasting the Cubs rally in my room today.
I get to watch my son play hockey this weekend.

Happy Friday!

Cubs Win! Cubs Win!

Holy Cow!  What a game!  So many feels right now!  Did you watch???

Wordy Wednesday

How about them CUBS????  Game 7, here we come!

Here is your Boggle board for today.  Remember, the last letter much touch the next letter for it to count.  Each word must be more than two letters.


Please be good for the sub today!  Turn in your "Living on One Dollar" sheets so you get credit.  If the movie finishes early, find something QUIET to do.  I'll be back tomorrow!  

Totally Awesome Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday!  Lots on the agenda today, so please be patient with me (or any sub you may encounter).

Tell me something that is TOTALLY AWESOME that has happened to you lately.  It doesn't need to be big, just something that you think is awesome that's happening/happened in your world.  

Me?  I scored some tickets for my husband's birthday to see G. Love & Special Sauce at the House of Blues in January.  

How about you?
